The Last King Of Scotland, by Giles Foden

Great book. Not surprisingly, much better than the movie. The early changes made in the adaptation are good, and still serve the story, but the drastic changes made to the end unhinged the film a bit, and now that I've read the book, I understand why we were not as happy with the movie as we expected to be. I'm now wanting to read some more about Idi Amin and see how true this story is to real life. Very interesting.
